Blackburn

Blackburn is a large, former mill town situated in Lancashire. Textiles have been produced in the town since the middle of the 13th Century. Originally, wool was woven in homes by the Flemish Weavers who had settled in the area to help develop the woollen cottage industry.

In the late 18th Century, with the industrial revolution and major growth of the cotton industry, Blackburn mushroomed quickly tom become one of the most important industrial towns in the UK.

In the late 1960’s, early 1970’s the town underwent a major development and transformed, becoming a welcomed home for the new, engineering industries which was as triumphant as the cotton trade.

The town’s determination for success shines bright and you aren’t short of hardworking electricians, technicians and local tradesmen, raring to help you with anything from your car to your home.
